Dear friends,

 

We would like to just let you be a part of our ministry by keeping us in prayer. So, in this letter we hope we can give you a little bit of the work that is going on here.

This winter God blessed us with one of the best winters that we had since we are here (this is our third winter since we minister here). Even though many of the adults from Secuieu, one of the gypsy villages, left to Spain for begging, our fellowship was growing constantly. The room was almost every week full with people, and this is something what we really didn’t expected, but the Lord just did this work of grace that filled our hearts with joy.

The children from Secuieu also are a great joy for us. We could see in the last two mounts how much they grew in the Lord. They are so excited for the Kids Bible Study that they just run to the car when we arrive there and they come with us in the house that we rented there to be used as church building. They don’t even have now the patience to wait so we can start the fire in the wood stove, to warm up the room. They just come in and offer to help us clean the church and make the fire so we can start earlier. They also started to behave much better then they used to be, they listen carefully and learned many songs. We can praise the Lord for this change from their life, in the beginning they were very wild and violent, and really hard to control.

 

In Calatele, the other gypsy village, the ministry continues by going and getting to know better the gypsies and allowing them to know us better. Since we don’t have a building there in the gypsy village, we meet every Friday in Fery’s house and have there a time of sharing and singing. There are a few people that come. Our ministry now is the most by visiting their houses, talking with them, helping them with whatever we can (medicines, driving them to hospitals, praying together with them for their problems, and counseling them whenever the Lord opens the door for it). In the last weeks more teenage boys started to come to our fellowship there, because they love the music we sing. We are praying that they will know Jesus and follow Him.

 

We also want to ask you to pray for a gypsy man, Trandafir. He came last night to us and said that he had a dream the night before, and in his dream Jesus appeared and told him that He wants him to start to walk on the right path. He said to Jesus, “How can I walk this path if I don’t know how to walk on it?” Jesus answered him, “I will teach you, you just walk.” The next day he came to church and said that he wants to follow Jesus and walk on God’s path. Please pray for him to surrender his entire heart and life to Jesus.
